PM05513: EXEC CICS ENTER TRACENUM GETS RESP=16 (INVREQ) RESP2=2 (NO VALID TRACE DESTINATION).

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With trace settings INTTR=OFF (internal trace OFF) and AUXTR=ON
  (auxiliary trace ON), application program get RESP=16 (INVREQ)
  and RESP2=2 (no valid trace destination found) at CICS command
  EXEC CICS ENTER TRACENUM, ONLY in case when DFHLCD (Local
  Catalog Data Set) has been delete/defined before INITIAL
  starting CICS.
  At 'normal' INITIAL CICS start (i.e. w/o delete/define LCD) the
  problem is not visible.
  DFHTRAP checking CSATRMAS (CSA trace system master trace flags)
  fires because the CSATRMAS bits are changed when the LCD has
  been previously delete/defined.
  

Local fix

• Do not delete/define DFHLCD. Simply schedule an INITIAL start
  with SIT option START=INITIAL.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The master trace flag is not set on     *
  *                      if only auxiliary trace is being set    *
  *                      active during a CICS INITIAL start.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If CICS is being brought up with START=INITIAL and the
  local and global catalogs have been deleted and defined
  since the previous run of CICS, the CSA master trace flag
  will not be set on if auxiliary trace is the only type of
  trace being started during initialization.
  When starting auxtrace DFHTRSR attempts to locate the CSA in
  order to turn CSATRMAS on. The address of the CSA is not
  yet available in the AFCB for the AP domain so the locate
  fails and the master trace flag is not set on.
  This causes command EXEC CICS ENTER TRACENUM() to fail as
  it believes there is no trace destination available.

Problem conclusion

• DFHTRDM has been altered so that the kernel master trace flag
  will be set during TR pre-initialize domain phase if the SIT
  has specified that auxtrace be turned on. This will ensure that
  DFHSIA1 will switch on the CSA master trace flag.
